It certainly does. Not only is that enormous cheeseburger likely to delay effectiveness of Viagra, a diet that’s too high in fats, simple carbohydrates, and processed foods puts you at higher risk of coronary artery disease, a condition that is strongly correlated with erection problems.
No one is saying you have to eat rabbit food all the time, but limiting the heavy foods to special occasions and making sure your everyday diet is high in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean sources of protein can help you keep your arteries healthy. That includes the arteries that serve your heart and the ones that serve your reproductive organs.
A great diet along with regular exercise can improve erection health, with or without the help of prescription erectile dysfunction medications.
Excess consumption of alcohol can also contribute to erectile dysfunction. Most men have experienced the occasional erection problem due to overindulging. But frequent, heavy drinking itself can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. It can also play havoc with your blood glucose levels (whether or not you have diabetes), potentially affecting your long-term erectile health.
